I A PROPOSAL WAS MADE BY ONE OF THE REPRESENTATIVES THAT THE PROJECT BE UNDERTAKEN ON THE BASIS OF WIDENING THE STREET. INSTALLING A 5 FOOT SIDEWALK ALONG THE CURB AND LETTING THE BALANCE OF THE WALK BE INSTALLED BY THE VARIOUS OWNERS. THIS PLAN WAS NOT CONSIDERED FEASIBLE BY THE COMMITTEE FOR VARIOUS R~ASONS. BASICALLY BECAUSE. UNDER THIS PLAN, THE CITY WOULD HAVE NO CONTROL OVER SEVEN FEET OF THE SIDEWALK AND WOULD HAVE NO ASSURANCE OF A UNIFORM WALK- WA Y. THE COMMITTEE FEELS THAT THE WIDENING PROJECT SHOULD INCLUDE BOTH STREETS AND SIDEWALKS AT THE SAME TIME, AT l~AST WITH RESPECT TO SECURING THE RIGHT-OF-WAY FOR UNIFORM WALKS, AND THAT THE ONLY BASIS UPON WHICH TO PROCEED IS TO GET COMMITMENTS FROM OWNERS REGARDING THE DEEDS OR EASEMENTS FOR THE SEVEN FEET SO THAT FURTHER PLANNING MAY PROCEED.
